I asked this question like a few days ago, now I do it again, I am afraid of messing up and miss the perfect time for harvest, it’s been a long 4 ½ months of lovely work, I know is close, but is it ready now? This is an outdoor plant.
Thank you all!

The most accurate method is to get a cheap USB microscope and look at the trichomes and then harvest to your taste in the type of high you want (energetic or sleepy.)

Thank you! an excellent video, I think I got it. 
YouTube Video, DeBacco University, topics:
Selective Plant Harvest and The Highest ROI.
And
USB Microscope would be worth the $20.00 to see.
Outdoor plant, keep close watch for Bud Rot and weather patterns.
Good luck.
Thank you! Base upon your pistils chart the buds are ready, I was going by the Trichome chart and according to that they are not ready, all the Trichomes on my plant are pure white, not a single one is amber, so I decided to harvest now because the pistils are all brown, I am probably a little late, I think your chart save my crop. Thanks again Derwyn86!
